Is there a Fluther equivalent to "denying the premise"?
In improv, there is a phrase, “Denying the premise” which essentially means that one player contradicts a circumstance postulated by another. For example, one says, “What will we do about our children?” and the other responds, “We have no children!” It’s a very ungenerous way to play.
I see this in Fluther where some humorless git answers a question, “If you were expelled from a hotel in the middle of the night for having too many dachsunds in your room, where would you go?” and they start their answer with “I would never be expelled from a hotel room for having to [sic] many dachsunds because I was raised to respect blah blah blah…”
I hate it. I mean, if someone doesn’t want to play, sit down and shut up. But to neigh say the question that is obviously somewhat tongue in cheek… Ag!
So anyway way do you have a name for what that is in Fluther?
